What we plan to do together:

- Add, subtract, multiply and divide two digit numbers

- Rounding to the nearest 10 or 100

- Use units to measure

What you need to focus on:

- Decide on the maths you need to use to work out your answers

What we plan to do together:

- Multiply and divide two digit numbers.

- Solve whole number problems.

What you should focus on:

- Show your working clearly and check

results

Tim wants to know how much he uses his phone so he can get the best monthly deal. He checks his account on the Internet
